Abstract Objective Polymerization shrinkage developed in vertical and horizontal directions after light activation of light-curing composite restorative materials. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of vertical…
Abstract Objectives Chipping is the most frequent clinical failure of zirconia crowns. Causes of chipping have not been completely understood and different possible reasons have been considered. The study was…
Abstract Objectives The bonding interface of glass ceramics and resin luting cements plays an important role in the long-term durability of ceramic restorations. The purpose of this systematic review is…
Abstract Objective The general aim of this article is to describe the state-of-the-art of biocompatibility testing for dental materials, and present new strategies for improving operative dentistry techniques and the…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate first white titanium surfaces developed for improvement of existing clinically used titanium-based implants Ticer. Methods The anodic plasma-electrochemical oxidation in aqueous solutions of sodium hydroxide and…
Abstract Objective The objective of this study was to determine if Gluma dentin desensitizer (5.0% glutaraldehyde and 35% HEMA in water) can inhibit the endogenous MMPs of dentin matrices in…
Abstract Objectives To verify the influence of filler size distributions on fracture toughness ( K Ic ), initial fracture strength (IFS) and cyclic fatigue resistance (CFR) of experimental resin composites….
Abstract Objectives To examine the effects of the combined use of chlorhexidine and ethanol on the durability of resin-dentin bonds. Methods Forty-eight flat dentin surfaces were etched (32% phosphoric acid),…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to compare the viscoelastic properties of high pressure (HP) polymerized urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA) with those of control, ambient pressure thermo-polymerized and photo-polymerized,…
Abstract Objective Dental implants anchor in bone through a tight fit and osseo-integratable properties of the implant surfaces, while a protective soft tissue seal around the implants neck is needed…
Abstract Objectives Investigation of the hydration and characterization of Theracal and Biodentine used for pulp capping. Methods The setting mechanism and characterization of set Biodentine and Theracal after immersion in…
Abstract Objective The aim of this study is to explain the influence of peripheral interface stress singularities on the testing of tensile bond strength. The relationships between these theoretically predicted…
Abstract Objective The compliance for tooth cavity preparations is not yet fully described in the literature. Thus, the objectives were to present a finite element (FE) method for calculating compliance…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the effect of different surface treatments on the bond strength between polyetheretherketone (PEEK) composite materials and each of two different luting cements. Methods One hundred specimens…
Abstract Objective To evaluate in vitro Streptococcus mutans ( S. mutans ) biofilm formation on the surface of five light-curing experimental dental bonding systems (DBS) with increasing hydrophilicity. The null…
Abstract Objective In this study, new dimethacrylate monomer SiMA without Bisphenol A (BPA) structure was synthesized and used as base resin of dental composite materials with the aim of reducing…
Abstract Objective This study investigates monitored micro-crack growth and damage in the ceramic/enamel adhesive interface using the acoustic emission (AE) technique with optical coherence tomography (OCT) under fatigue shear testing….
Abstract Objectives To report analytic solutions capable of identifying failure stresses from the biaxial flexure testing of geometries representative of endodontic access cavities prepared through dental restorative materials. Methods The…
Abstract Objective Recurrent caries at the margins is a primary reason for restoration failure. The objectives of this study were to develop bonding agent with the double benefits of antibacterial…
Abstract Objective The objective of this study was to test the following hypotheses: (1) both cyclic degradation and stress-corrosion mechanisms result in subcritical crack growth (SCG) in a fluorapatite glass-ceramic…
